If you understand that, then just take it into account when using the rankings. It's the same with reviews or whatever. They're much more useful if you know the context. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |

A small difference in both score and ranking, which makes sense. Eh, IMDB only has four 9+ movies.

Mac Arrowny 01/30/18 5:43:12 PM #28 | Last Encore is already airing on Netflix in Japan... LapisLazuli posted... Like over a third of MAL's scores are within 1 point of eachother. Nobody uses scores to tell the difference between a 7.62 show and a 7.67 show. Don't be ridiculous. Mobilezoid posted... I check MAL scores, but only because if something is ranked in the 6000s there's probably a reason and a sign I should at least look a bit deeper. I'm not going to let a ranking in the 3000s stop me from watching Strike Witches next, though! Strike Witches fun times. The movie wasn't that great though. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |

Mac Arrowny 01/30/18 2:29:51 PM #480 | The second half has been terrible in a lot of ways. It's good when it's doing what it does best (Yamada helping people who are troubled by their powers) but everything else is awful. Even the first half wasn't that good when it was focusing on villains, so I dunno why the author decided to go all out with that in the second half. Like...what the hell are they even trying to accomplish? ugh. Less Shiraishi is pretty lame too considering that she's basically the premise of the series... --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |

Mac Arrowny 01/30/18 2:01:11 PM #476 | Ugh. Has anyone here read the Yamada and the Seven Witches manga? It's kinda annoying how bad everything in the second half is. Right now I'm mostly annoyed by how the author can't use Nene's character at all. Everything involving her is fucking terrible. I dunno why the author made her so completely incompetent at everything and increased her screentime so much. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |

Mac Arrowny 01/29/18 11:24:56 AM #446 | Prequel season was actually one of my preferred parts for a couple reasons. I thought the slice of lifey comedy stuff was way better and more natural here than the other two parts. The second half of S1 was particularly bad in this regard, IIRC. Episode 7 and 8 or so were totally trite. It also had by far the best ending of the three parts, with no Incidentally, her given name is Yuna while her family name is Yuki.
